Villages that shrank most in Goa
A falling count usually means out-migration, but in a small village it can also mean a boundary change.

What this ranking leaves out, and why.
5 villages here had fewer than 100 people in
2011 — at that size a percentage says more about the surveyor than the village,
so they are excluded. A further 0 sit within half a
point of the limits beyond which we treat a figure as implausible (+150% or
−40%): they are the villages that only just survived that test, not the fastest
moving, and ranking them first would be misleading. That is
5 excluded in total.
How the limits are set.
